Synopsis
Challenging a historic creed with plain words and common sense.
This concise critique examines the Westminster Confession through a practical, everyday lens, arguing that true justice and human dignity should guide belief as much as doctrine.
In clear, accessible language, the book questions whether a rigid decree about salvation can align with modern ideas of fairness. It contrasts two views of election and asks readers to consider how faith, grace, and responsibility fit into everyday moral life. The author speaks from experience as a lay theologian, inviting readers to weigh arguments without relying on centuries of scholastic jargon.- Understand why the author believes certain Calvinist conclusions clash with common-sense notions of justice.
- See how election, predestination, and infant salvation are discussed and debated in plain terms.
- Compare traditional interpretations with proposed revisions that emphasize universal access to grace.
- Consider how a modern reader might reconcile faith with personal conscience and biblical readings.
In the future, thoughtful revision and open discussion could bring creeds closer to the Bible’s message, welcoming readers who seek a scriptural and practical faith.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a bold and thought-provoking examination of the Westminster Confession of Faith, a foundational document of Presbyterian theology. The author, an elder in the Presbyterian Church, takes a "common sense" approach, challenging the Confession's deeply ingrained doctrines of predestination and election. In doing so, the author delves into the historical and theological context of the Confession, exploring its roots in the teachings of St. Augustine and John Calvin. The book's central thesis revolves around the tension between God's sovereignty and human free will, questioning whether God's predetermined decrees leave room for individual choice and moral responsibility. The author also addresses the implications of these doctrines for the salvation of infants, the fate of the heathen, and the nature of God's love for all humanity. The book's examination of these complex theological issues raises vital questions about the nature of faith, the role of human reason, and the meaning of justice in the divine plan. Ultimately, this book invites readers to engage with the heart of Presbyterian theology, prompting critical reflection and a deeper understanding of its historical and contemporary significance.
